About Highley Community Primary School

Highley Community Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Shropshire, but its headline metrics tell a more nuanced story than its rank alone suggests. The school ranks 68th out of 88 primary schools in the local authority, placing it in the bottom half of the county. However, when you look at the key stage 2 results, the picture is mixed. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 49%, which is ten percentage points below the Shropshire average of 59%. That gap is significant, but it doesn't tell the whole story. The school's average scores in reading and maths both sit at 103, which is exactly in line with the national average of 103. So while fewer pupils are hitting the combined benchmark, those who do are achieving solid scores. The school also has a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 25.9%, which may help explain some of the variance.
